Join Contemporary Dance Theater as we open our 2013-2014 Season. CDT is proud to present the “exceptionally fluent dancemaker” (Washington Post), Doug Varone and his company of “superb dancers…always worth seeing” (New York Times).

The program will include Carrugi (performed to music by Mozart), Boats Leaving (with music from Arvo Part), and Lux (music by Philip Glass).

Since its founding in 1986, Doug Varone and Dancers has commanded attention for its expansive vision, versatility, and technical prowess. On the concert stage, in opera, theater, and on the screen, Varone’s kinetically-thrilling dances explore the complexity of the human spirit. From the smallest gesture to full-throttle bursts of movement, Varone’s work can take your breath away.
